Supermarket Guessing Game

I went to a supermarket today. The 20-year old male checkout assistant held aloft a piece of merchandise which I had placed on the conveyor belt and said "Durrrr, wot's dis?".

Can anyone guess what it was?

If it was Morrison's then he might not have seen one before... Morrison's being the supermarket where I found green peppers in an aisle labelled "Fancy Veg".

Although, he might have been asking a rhetorical question: does anyone actually ENJOY eating a grapefruit? I mean when they aren't trying to do an impression of a cat's bumhole with their mouth. I know they're healthy, but can any pleasure actually be derived from the act of eating one?

Yes - they are lovely. If you don't like the bitter ones, try pink grapefruit - sweeter.

Grapefruit juice is nice. Mixed with OJ it makes a perfect breakfast drink, and mixed with tequila a perfect evening one.
